Abstract/OtherAbstract:

We present a case of corneal decompensation and cataract formation following a corneal bee sting in a patient with a history of drug abuse. Clinical findings, anterior segment photographs, and medical and surgical treatment are presented. The stinger was removed from the cornea. Systemic and topical steroids, topical antibiotics, and systemic and topical antiglaucoma medication and antihistamines were prescribed. After 3 months, combined Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK), phacoemulsification, and intraocular lens implantation were performed, with significant improvement in visual acuity and corneal edema. To our knowledge, this is the first report of DSAEK combined with cataract surgery for this condition. It was found to be a safe and effective treatment for corneal decompensation secondary to a bee sting.
